Meeting Street Academy is accepting applications for its next class of students.The school’s Spartanburg campus opened to 3- and 4-year-old preschool students in July, and it will expand to include 5-year-old kindergarten in its second year.Director Trish Scarry said that about 40 applications have been received for the three grade levels so far, but the application period will remain open through Jan. 19. She said 20 to 30 new students will be accepted.“I’d like to see a lot more (applications),” Scarry said. “We’re still trying to get our name out there.”MSA targets students zoned for low-performing schools whose families lack the financial means to pay for private education. Scarry said that tuition totals roughly $2 a day, plus another $1 for after-school activities.Thirty-seven students are enrolled at the school, which is on East Broad Street in a portion of the Broadwalk Shoppes. MSA plans to expand by one grade level per year through the fifth grade, and leaders expect enrollment to total about 175 students.“We’ve had a great year,” Scarry said. “We love the location, and the community’s been wonderful.”Applications are available at the school or on its website, www.meetingstreetacademy.com.
